Eileen is on the Road & Greeting Card Inspiration

21 Jan

The Team this month is kicking off the year with a Card Bonanza! We always need a card or two through the year so check out our Creative Team’s greeting card inspiration through the month for birthday and other occasion cards.

Jenny Marples created this lovely floral card by cutting flowers out of fabric using the Painterly Blooms & Background die set. She then cut them apart and made mix & match layered flowers to form the wreath. Awesome! Check out her tutorial reel on Instagram.


Tonya Trantham used the Mini Album die to cut the card base for this sweet little card. She layered on various paper scraps and die cuts to complete it. Lovely! Find all the details here.


News from Eileen Hull…

Hi all, and I hope your 2026 is off to a good start! As I mentioned last week, life for the next two months has lots going on and I am allowing myself to take a break. I will not be doing two scheduled lives a week – however I do still plan on going live when my schedule allows, so please make sure to subscribe to my channels on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Click notifications so you will be notified when I do go live! 

I leave today for upstate NY to visit Mom while my sister and BIL take a break with week in the islands. I checked the weather today and looks like a big storm is coming this weekend, so hopefully the drive home is not too crazy! 

Have you seen the Monks Walk For Peace on Instagram? It is so inspiring! They are due to finish their 2300 mile walk in DC on February 11. I really wanted to see them since (we live 25 miles outside of DC) but we won’t be home in time 🙁 They are definitely worth watching… 

Get organized!

Join me and fellow YouTubers on the Cara Brandon Refresh Collaboration! We will be taking a look at our spaces as the New Year begins. Each artist will be sharing a look at their studio – clearing out and making it more efficient to work in. Each week follows a different theme; join us and follow along at home! Episodes are recorded so you can binge watch and clean along with us 🙂 Follow along and share your progress using: #craftspacerefresh2026


PROGRESS? I am still working on my studio – it’s a never ending job… I received a Michael’s gift card from my son for Christmas and I was happy to find some useful organizing carts and containers; plus there were some great deals to be had!


The ETSY SHOP is openI The Easy Cut Adhesive is back in stock along with the 1/2″ RedLiner tape and 1/4″ RedLiner tape. Debbie will be filling orders while I am away – thanks Debbie!

There are some exciting changes going on which will take a little time to put in place – please be patient. I think you are going to love them.

Workshop with Eileen:

Tired of the snow? Come on down and join us in Puerto Rico!

Inspiration from the Creative Team…

For our April theme, the Creative Team designers either finished up projects that had been sitting for a time (aka UnFinished Objects), or revisited a project and put a new spin on it with different dies. We’re wrapping up that theme this week!

Teresita Arvelo created this cheerful little book for list making using the Notebook Die. It’s the perfect size to keep close at hand for when inspiration or need strikes! See all the pics in her post.


Sue Eldred revisited the past with this beautiful Mini Album project. She dug deep into her stash for an old K & Company patterned paper collection and used it for the album. (I loved that company too!) You can see more here.

I’m back from Creativation! What a great time – so exciting to see new products and trends and best of all, catch up with my industry friends! 

There were color wheels all over the show floor – YAY! 🙂 I saw a good number of cute little astronauts and space themed products too, along with nostalgic references in designs. I love to watch trends!

Creative Team designers finishing more UFOs:

For our April theme, the Creative Team designers are either finishing up projects that have been sitting for a time (aka UnFinished Objects), or revisiting a project and putting a new spin on it with different dies. This should be fun! (We’d love to see you share your UFO projects in the Fan Club too.)

Pam Bray found a blank cutout from the Display Stand Die in her stash and decided to turn it into a coffee note desk organizer. Soo cool! You can see more details about this handy make in her post.


Elizabeth Robinson also had a journal cover cut out that had languished for ages. She took her Pocket Notebook start and got to work completing it! You  can find all the detail photos here.


Jenny Marples has a flip through of this gorgeous Mini Album journal to share with us. It’s packed full of Eileen product goodness so take a moment to peruse it!

Spring project inspiration from the Creative Team

This month the Creative Team designers are being inspired by SPRING! It’s time to create projects that celebrate the new season – from spring home decor to cards and albums. Any of Eileen’s past dies and products are fair game so let’s see what projects we have to share this week…

Maggi Harding created a scrapbook page layout highlighting a recent trip she made to Antarctica. She used the Floral Pocket & Paperclips and Alphanumeric Thinlits Die Sets plus the Plate & Pattern Layered Stencil Set. So cool! 😉


Tonya Trantham dressed up a pre-made notepad with Eileen’s dies and embossing folders. This is a great gift idea (Mother’s Day is coming!) Get a closer look in her post. Dies used: Floral Pocket & Paperclips, Bookmark, Pockets & Toppers, and the Floral Damask Embossing Folder.


Spring of course celebrates all things green and growing! Elizabeth Robinson made this lovely nature inspired junk journal using the Mini Album Die. Each page inside is a treat so head on over to her post to see it all.

Eileen Hull Project Inspiration from the Creative Team

20 Feb

Hi friends! I had so much fun creating Valentines this year but I am happy to move on to spring crafting – how about you? We also have more project inspiration from the Creative Team to share.

In the process of #tidyup2025, I found I have quite a collection of beads 😳. So I thought I would create some “Journal Jewelry” with them. All you need is some beads, wire, jump rings, and pliers. Join me in creating some fun dangles and charms for your journals on Tuesday’s LIVE!

On Thursday, it’s time for more leather crafting. We will be creating with one of Realeather‘s kits – it’s a classic and would make a great gift for anyone who has a credit card! Watch HERE …


Project inspiration from the Creative Team…

For February, the project theme for the Creative Team is “Anything Goes”. The designers are going back to any of Eileen’s dies or products in their stashes and creating some wonderful projects to inspire you! 

Tonya Trantham was able to complete a work in progress – a beautiful prayer journal. The base was made using the Skinny Mini Book Box Die. Find all the details in Tonya’s post. Also check out her flip through video below!


Flip through:


Designer Jenny Marples created a set of Notebooks that fit perfectly inside a matching Treasure Box. Their cheerfully colored collage style is a visual treat! Don’t miss the video below for a closer look…


More details, don’t miss it…


Tonya Trantham also has a bonus project to share with you – a Valentine she made using the Mini Album Die for the card base. See the other dies she used and her process in her post.


Take a class with Eileen Hull!

I am so excited to be traveling out to California at the end of February to Frank Garcia Studio! It is beautiful store and I’ve got some really fun projects to share. It’s worth a trip just to see Frank’s store but while you’re at it come and take a class or two! I’m starting to pack for my visit to Frank Garcia Studio in a couple of weeks! Sign up now because I may need to order more looms – look at what we are making! This is just one of the projects … I will be teaching three classes – you can register HERE!
